When my sister-in-law and her husband announced their pregnancy, I couldn't wait to help them design a nursery. They both love music and going to concerts, so I used a Houzz ideabook to share loads of ideas for creating a rock-n-roll inspired room for their son. My new nephew just entered the world and arrived home to a nursery filled with modern and colorful musical imagery. If you want to add rhythm to your child's room, here are 20 ideas to get you started. — Laura from JourneyChic

Not only do I love the colors in this Land of Nod set, but the circles remind me of old LPs. My sister-in-law converted the crib bumpers to valances, adding "records" to the windows.

I love crafts, but this instrumental mobile is beyond my skill set and patience level. Fortunately this Etsy seller does a lovely job and will even customize the colors — my sister-in-law bought one for her son's room.

You'll be pregnant for nine months, so make one paper crane out of sheet music every four weeks and you'll have a mesmerizing mobile for your baby. Or, just take the easy route and let an origami artist do it for you.

I love the delicate wings of these paper butterflies crafted out of sheet music. I would put a whole flock above baby's crib.

It's super easy to decoupage a wooden monogram (I have instructions on my blog). Use sheet music instead of scrapbook paper to create a musical monogram.

Yeah, I still remember cassette tapes and records (there's a Debbie Gibson LP somewhere in my parents' house) and thus love these retro prints in rich hues perfect for a boy's room.

This would be so easy to DIY. Look for a vintage songbook to use and paint an inexpensive frame for a custom look to match the nursery's colors.

Maybe she'll be a rock star with a guitar, or maybe a rock star with a microscope. Either way, this print lets your kiddo know that big things are possible.

This alphabet art reminds me of '80s movies showing dudes in neon pants strutting down a Southern California boardwalk. They've got the boombox's volume cranked up so everyone can hear the sound of that synthesizer.
